I haven't even touched the nitrous yet so I'm not sure what it will do. This engine ran 8.50's @ 160 in a heavier car so who knows. Here're a few build pics;

That's my brat in the video. This wasn't an amatuer's project. The entire center of the car was cut out and a full race chassis was built. Took me about 1000hours to from the time I pulled the car into the garage and the time it left under it's own power. Two things, I would not recommend a build like this unless the builder is a journeyman fabricator and 2. a v8 will not fit in the engine bay of a first gen brat from front to back or side to side with out body mods and a whole lot of skill and inginuity. As for a second gen on a toyata frame with a v-8, you're looking at some really serious modifications and fabrication. Again, a person shoudn't even attempt this without serious skills.

Hey, anyone know where I can find a clean rust free and straight rear bumber and the plastic inner door handle bucket for the door panels? Heading back out to the track this weekend to add a little power now that the suspension is set up. Looking for mid 8 sec timeslips Here's another video you fells might like.

Here are a couple more videos. This is the first trip to the track to make suspension adjustments while running a very detuned 500hp. It generated a lot of interest seeing a licensed street legal truck with mufflers beating up on the big dogs with big slicks and open headers FYI: the engine noise you hear in the vid's is coming from the other cars. The Brat is very quiet.

Thought you fellas might like to see what a V8 does for a first gen brat. This is a street legal Brat fully DOT less the slicks.
